In June of 2021, President Joseph Biden signed a bill making June 19th—known as Juneteenth—a federal holiday. Although Juneteenth has been celebrated in African-American communities since its inception over a century and a half ago, many Americans only learned about it recently. This program explores the remarkable history behind this holiday, a day that celebrates the triumph of freedom over the unspeakable evils of slavery.
